FILE - In this Dec. 11, 2017 file photo, manatees swim with their calves at Blue Spring State Park in Orange City, Fla. According to Florida wildlife officials, there have been more manatee deaths so far in 2018 than all of last year. A total of 540 manatees have died through Aug. 12, whereas 538 died in 2017. Experts blame a cold snap at the beginning of the year and the toxic red tide algae in the Gulf of Mexico for the fatalities. About 100 deaths are blamed on red tide.
